37 This is what the Lord says:Only if the heavens could be measuredor the foundations of the earth could be searched,would I ever reject all of Israel’s descendantsbecause of everything that they have done, declares the Lord.
38 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the city will be rebuilt for me from the Tower of Hananel to Corner Gate.
39 A measuring line will stretch from there straight to the Hill of Gareb, and then it will turn to Goah.
40 The whole valley, filled with its dead bodies and ashes, and the whole area to the Kidron Valley, as far as the corner of Horse Gate in the east, will be holy to the Lord. It will never be uprooted or torn down again.”
